Compatibility

Always serve cecina thinly sliced at room temperature like Spanish ham. It is usually served as a tapa with a glass of wine, but it can also be added to a fresh salad. Since it is less fatty than ham, it is usually sprinkled on the slices with a little extra virgin olive oil. Cecina can be served with a plate of sliced Serrano ham, where you can enjoy the similarities and contrasts between these two classic cured meats.

Scent

Intense aroma with pronounced nuances, creamy and oily texture. Very gentle, with a barely perceptible saltiness. A little smoked.
